Happy Tuesday! Thank you for joining me and Jenn for another edition of Tuesday Topics. Remember to link up with us! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Don’t forget to come back for later linkers!
I like Summer. But, I like it when it isn’t 90 degrees. I also dislike the humidity. I prefer 70s weather. At my age, the hot weather affects me a lot more. Sometimes I prefer running in the Summer than in the Winter.
During the Summer I protect my hair and skin to reduce the risk of damage. Some of these things I also do in the Winter.
• I run early in the day. The earlier the better. The sun isn’t as strong during the wee hours of the day. I like to be out by 6am and sometimes even at that time it is already too hot.
• I use sun protection. I admit that I didn’t always use sun protection. I was lazy about it. Now I won’t go out without it. I use a spray bottle for my legs and arms and a stick for my face.
• I wear moisture wicking clothes. I sweat a lot when I run. I want to be comfortable and not feel wet. Moisture wicking clothes keep moisture away from the skin and dry quickly. This also helps with not chafing. Chafing is the worst!
• I wear a hat. As you can see from the photo above, I didn’t always wear a hat. Now I make sure to always wear one on my runs.
• I use a deep conditioner on my hair. I don’t do this all of the time, but once or twice a week I put deep conditioner or leave-in conditioner on my hair. I don’t wash my hair everyday and doing this feels like I am still washing it and removing the sweat from my hair.
The topic for next week – Do you enjoy racecations or running locally? Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
